can brass screws be used with aluminum
Hey guys title says it all im putting back the stator housing on my CB 550 which I m pretty sure is made of aluminum In any case I needed to get new screws and I just bought what they had at lowes They re brass and I m wondering if it is safe or not to use these or if some reaction will occur where they will fuse together or corrode
